I'm trying to setup a peer-to-peer OpenVPN between two pfsense servers running 2.0.1-RELEASE, but the client keeps getting the connection dropped, with a status of "reconnecting; ping-restart" and nothing appears to be routing between them. Both these firewalls are also doing PPTP VPNs that are working correctly.

I have a firewall rule on the Server (OpenVPN interface) as "UDP * * * * * none" There is a NAT rule for port 80, but nothing for 1194

Turns out it was a firewall issue. You need a rule on the WAN tab of the firewall, in addition to the OpenVPN site. Adding Pass/UDP/1194 to the WAN side of the "server" allowed it to connect
